The latest study by researchers at the Pune-based Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM) poses an interesting question for Maharashtra’s push for renewable energy – amongst many other areas and aspects of everyday lives: climate change is set to impact India’s solar and wind energy potential over the next five decades. Maharashtra currently ranks among the top states in terms of installed renewable energy capacity (10.78 GW), with wind power capacity of 5.01 GW and solar power capacity of 2.75 GW contributing the most, which includes being second in the race on decentralised renewable energy (DRE). As of June 30, 2022, renewable energy contributes 24.36 per cent to Maharashtra’s power mix.
